Match Day Thread Manchester United FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 4th October 2025 - KO 15:00

Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a free kick for a high boot and dangerous play. Do indirect free kicks inside the box not exist anymore.

I’ve no idea if that should be given as a penalty these days or not but a corner kick means the referee has given nothing at all for tgr high boot

 

Our own worst enemy that half, 2 soft goals given away think we got the set up wrong from the off massively out numbered time and time again, looked better since the sub though and get the next goal you never know

 

Get a 3/5/2 on the pitch and we will get a point imo., carrying too many players contributing FA atm.

 

Terrible to start that left hand side of the pitch knowing we would have Mbuemo and Amad to deal with. Got it seriously wrong RLB and everyone knew how Utd would line up so no excuses.

 

A Sunderland goal, whatever it may be, and it'll be a cracker.

 

Attwell ****ting himself at OT, soft fouls by sadiki and alderete yellow cards, shaw 2 late challenges going through the player and only a talking to.

 

Watching that pen incident back again in slow motion...watch the man u players knee, not his foot.
I think he catches Hume on the face with his knee.
Looked a pen to me.

 

Its never going to be given as a penalty never mind against Man Utd! But he definitely infringed on Hume playing the ball and made contact with his foot high up on the body.

Definitely a foul anywhere else but they always do the same, a foul in the box needing a bit more. Bollocks but its how ti is especially playing man utd, how many fouls has Shaw got away without a yellow

 

Fernandez reffing the game well.

 

They used to say the only way you'd get a penalty Old Trafford was if the Man U centre half pulled out a gun and shot an opponent in the head in the middle of the penalty area, and even then it might only be an indirect free kick.

 

Just said on stream I'm watching were playing exactly the way United want us to play low block

We play high press they panic and it showed when we attacked them

 

Mike Dean saying 2 assisant refs are doing VAR and a referee should be doing it, they wouldnt have sent him to monitor

 

The problem was down our left Adingra is not tracking back Masuaka left isolated.
Things have tightened up since Adingra hauled off.
Le Fe is not physical enough in the middle but since going wide he is giving Masuaka a lot more cover.
I also think we have given MUFC to much respect.
They were there for the taking.
Second half let's go for it I'd rather lose giving it a real goal.

 

Shaw getting away with murder.
HTL
Shut these qunts up in Benidorm, on me own.

 

Fully expect ref to reduce us to 10

 

Still rekcon we do them 2-3!





Tongue in cheek, but those last 10 minutes were more encouraging and we aren't completely out of it!

 

Masuaku has been shocking. Showing Amad inside every time lol

 

Three. All worse thaneither of our yellows. And one not even given as a free kick!!

 

We can get back into this, the formation changed has helped and we can push them back.

Talbi on early 2nd half to stretch them
